Particulary for people who might be interested in running P200+ Cyrix chips at 150MHz on the 75MHz bus speed (only choice really). Obviously running a 207.5MHz processor on a 83MHz board is going to be faster than a 200MHz processor on a 66MHz board. Might be nice to mention that reliability might (will?) go down though. I'm happy to write it if wanted. -- Steve Roome Technical Systems Manager, Vision Interactive Ltd. E: steve@visint.co.uk M: +44 (0) 976 241 342 T: +44 (0) 117 973 0597 F: +44 (0) 117 923 8522
